    Hopefully Anderson stays fit and gets a good chance to play regularly this year.

How much you have, who is available and wether you will have to pay over the odds this late in the window could well be the deciding factor in how your season goes.
    The reason we are loaning is because we are waiting on some of our talented youth players in our academy to progress, hopefully Chris David will make the step up this year in CM, also Kasami started yesterday and is a big lad with a great left foot on him. That said we still need someone in right now cause Steve Sidwell as much as he tries and works hard is technically not good at all. Im wanting us to sign Clement Chantome.
    Who is your team Barrybarfly?
    United. There is only one, so I dont need to say more!

    I have no idea why you didnt bid for Moussa Dembele from us last year, not that I ever wanted him to leave, but with only one year of his contract left and a 15 million release clause we had to cash in or risk loosing him for free. He is an amazing player and would of been perfect for you, has the effortless ability just to glide past players, great close control and tackler, is the perfect midfielder to start defence into attack. One of th ebest players I have ever seen play at the Cottage.

    BBC news have an interesting article about Arsenals supporters trust not wanting Wengers contract renewed for anyone interested.

    Stoke here. I am both optimistic and very worried at the same time.

    You should be worried. Hate to bad mouth a former Red Devil, but Sparky has been crap as a manager so far.

    Only at QPR and places where he's been allowed to splash the cash. He was great at Blackburn. Stoke are obviously (and desperately) trying to get strikers bought which should help. We already have a strong defense so, with some players on the team who know what the opposition's goal looks like, we should hopefully be ok. Stoke still have a long way to go to play great football, but I think/hope/pray we'll be safe. Viva la revolution!

    I think Man Utd or Chelsea will win. Although Man City have some amazing talent, they are nowhere near the complete unit of the other title contenders. ARSEnal ..well... not much going on there these days.

    I'm glad the football is back I'm a Newcastle fan and I think our season is going to be either really good, or really bad, no middle ground. If we can bring in another striker and a defender, I think we'll be OK but I have doubts over some of the players we've brought in, like Gouffran.

    If Chelsea can get a striker in, I think they'll be hard to beat this year, especially going off of their performance yesterday even without Mata and Luiz.
